The fake PR link above is what we call "greek copy" in the publishing business. It's intended to demonstrate form and function, not content.

Are you saying it won't have the information?

No, he's talking about the "latin" copy.
It doesn't matter what language it is... it's called "greek copy," meaning that it has no meaning, and it's there for show.

That latin or greek or whatever is just a placeholder. It's highly possible that the page will contain pertinant info in the future.

We ran a translation thing on it from latin to english. Only a few words got translated. It didn't say anything. Two words that came up were knowlege and pain. Just a bunch of rubbish.

I already said, it's to demonstrate layout of the page. It's been done for decades. The company I worked for did an entire magazine mock-up that way to demonstrate how it would look to advertisers. I did it with this site to demonstrate how it would look before I coded anything. It's just something you do to get an idea of what something looks like before you build it.
Let's not turn nothing in to something.

Well, were 8 minutes past the dead line now.
Why would they want to demonstrate the layout of the page?

They do a greek copy to test the page before they actually put the real info on the page!!!

Here's the truth: The company building Phantom's Revenge (hence forth known as PR) is actually Greek and that page is a release from their home office and is posted verbatim.
